Integrating 3D Canopy Reconstruction to Assess Photosynthetic and Carbon Sequestration Responses of Larch Plantations to Drought Stress.

ABSTRACT: Forest phenotypic responses are significantly influenced by extreme climate conditions, particularly canopy structure and photosynthetic traits. However, the underlying mechanisms driving these responses, especially in conifer species, remain poorly understood. This study employs advanced phenotyping technologies, combining three-dimensional (3D) canopy reconstruction with high-resolution physiological trait analysis, quantifying changes in key physiological traits that light interception, gas exchange parameters stomatal conductance, and chlorophyll content. Developing 3D reconstruction algorithms tailored to conifer canopies is essential for simulating forest ecosystem responses under varying canopy densities. We investigate the following questions: (1) How does thinning affect canopy li
